Now, how about this for rank hypocrisy from new Wirral CX Frank Drebin look a like, Graham Goofy Burgess - In a lovely soft focus interview in the Daily Post in May 2007 our hero GB tells us about his time in Liverpool as a union rep and how he fought those nasty Militants and banished them forever. Something he's dined out on ever since...  

"....... the Militants’ solution to creating a legal budget – issuing 90-day redundancy notices to all 30,000 staff – immediately put the political leadership on collision course with unions.

Graham says: “They would say to us, ‘It’s just a piece of paper, of course we’ll re-employ everybody’ but from a union point of view, we couldn’t accept that because there was no guarantee.

“Liverpool at this time was, in many ways, in a desperate state. Hundreds of jobs were being lost at the big employers every week. The council was the employer of last resort, so we couldn’t let that happen.”

I'm just a working class lad but...

I'm getting really fed up of people with Northern accents on TV patronising themselves at the bequest of sneering Southerners. It's becoming a serious problem, what with the increasing North South divide (thankyou condems) and I get the feeling that some kind of shoulder "de chipping" machine may be the only way to stop these thin skinned weaklings begging their Southern masters for acceptance with the prelude to every conversation - "I'm just a working class lad but". My absolute disgust at people, almost exclusively men, spouting this arbitrary "aren't you impressed with little old me" phrase started when I was watching an episode of "celebrity" 'Come Dine With Me'. The show featured, amongst other fame hungry sycophants, frog faced sneer with a body attached Terry Christian who apparently used to host something called 'The Word' several decades before I was born. Eee's jus a workin' class lad but ad stil gee im a smack int faace Terry Christian (or TC, short for Total Cunt) spent 80% of the episode talking about how he was just a working class lad from Manchester, in the hope that his guests would be amazed he had the capacity to work an oven without having to rub two sticks together. "And for that, I'm going to give Terry 10/10" TC's arrogant Northern posturing suggested that he was worried people would see him as "a right puffter" for not using the microwave to make food. Despite all the chin jutting and "blokey banter" TC just can't shake the overwhelming fear that by appearing on a cooking show his Northerness would be revoked and he'd be forced to live the rest of his life as a chimney sweep scraping a living in posho central a.k.a London. Ironically most of TC's work actually comes from being a chimney sweep, there's fuck all reason to have him on TV. After all he's just a working class lad. Former MP Derek Hatton is another has been, desperately trying to grasp hold of some attention which he clearly lacks at home by appearing on Come Dine With Me. The show alleged that he was a prominent MP in the 80's (before I was born) and wikipedia agrees http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Hatton#Political_career Down the docks eerrrrr werkin class eeeerrrr ya know eeerrrr FUCK OFF!! Similar to Total Cunt, Derek Hatton (or DH for Dick Head) spent the entire episode accusing Edwina Currie of being a "southern fairy" becuase she doesn't precede every word with "EEERRR YA KNOW". The fact that Edwina Currie ran intellectual rings around him suggests DH should spend more time refining his argument than searching for some kind of "working class hero" status. A status which he will never achieve because no one really cares where you're from.  You don't hear Proffesor Brian Cox starting shows with - "Now I'm just a working class university graduate from Oldham, by I can tell you about this supernova." The reason is if he spoke like this it would make him sound like he doesn't believe his own words. Imagine you were in hospital and the doctor came in  "Now Mr Jones, I'm just a working class lad from Scunthorpe but I reckon I can get that tumour out". Wouldn't fill you with confidence. I'm all for being proud of where you come from, even if it is a shit hole, but if we don't stop this self flagellating it will grow to the point where you have to spew your entire, weepy life story before you can argue your case, by which point everyones decided you're a sub human bum sniffer who can't possibly be an expert on anything except chips. Just look at Dick Head and Total Cunt, no-one respects them. They could have been born on a nuclear waste ground (possible) and dragged themselves through life the seven circles of hell to get on television but nobody gives a shit. Nothing to do with their background it's just right now, they are a pair of self righteous wankers desperately seeking congratulations from escaping the hellish world of Manchester and Liverpool and bravely getting the train to London to appear on a daytime channel four show in which the guests are ritually humiliated. Well bravo fellas, aren't you an inspiration to the kids. But don't listen to me, I'm just a working class lad, what do I know? x.
